Looking for Special Slumping mold and need help

Post by Ernsglass »

I am looking for an elongated (maybe even considered oval) mold for slumping. The one I am looking for is about 16 inches long and maybe 5 inches or so wide at the largest part. I is kind of oval in shape but not a true oval. I have heard it referred to as a "bread" server shape. If you were to elongate an oval that is what I am looking for. I have searched the web with no luck. I have heard there is a place in North Carolina or Tennessee but again have had no luck. Would apprecaite any leads or help. Thanks in advance.

Try this link

http://www.cdvkiln.com/menufusingsupplies.htm

Look on the left side of the page and click on "molds"

Look at the list of molds, the long and short OVAL molds (#8951 and #8952) are close to what you're looking for.

Select an oval shape that is close to what you want and cut your glass short. You will end up with a liped bread board shape. - OR

Call a friend who does clay and bring him/her a bottle of Bin 45 just before closing.
